(3 pts) Due Friday, May 13th. Upload your published URL in a word .doc to Focus.
WIX.com is a simple web page creator that lets you look at thousands of website templates and then save one and edit it. Remove their pictures, put in yours. Remove their text, put in yours. Changing color schemes, etc.. The best portfolio pages have a simple landing (or Splash) page, and then links to your gallery. Be sure to give reference info. that lets the viewer know what they're looking at. Save your artwork files as .PNG files to upload. This is important to do in order to make your artwork transparent enough to use and not overlap one another.
Web Pages should include:
-
Index Page - Examples Of Work Page - About You Page - Contact Info.
TIPS
*Pictures for upload should be saved as .PNG files or .JPEG files.
*Check each page for extraneous info. that is not necessary. Scrub the website if you used an existing template. This means, check every page for information that does not relate to you and remove it or tailor it to match your name / address / etc..
* Use a Gallery Viewer on your site. It makes viewing work much easier.
* Check that your published URL loads properly. If it's not Published, it will not load.
